Jewel had told K'Temoc that he tell Janice, this was always the hard part. She walked down the corridor to the turbo lift and entered. "Bremer's Quarters," she ordered as the doors closed and the lift began to move towards its destination. She wished she could visit with her sister on a more happier not then this.

She thought what she was going to say while she waited for the lift to come to a stop. After a few moments the lift stopped and the doors opened. Jewel walked out and headed towards Janice's and Mike's quarters. Once she reached she stood outside for a moment, taking a deep breath and pressed the chime.

Janice was watching one of the old Earth ‘soap operas’ she’d found in the entertainment database several years before. She was watching a story about a long lost lover returning to town after being declared dead several years before. It was actually becoming boring for her, it was a similar theme she’d seen in this same series before, as well as others. Janice actually found herself doing more laundry folding than watching.

The door chime sounded, she turned the monitor, that was set into an old style Television, off. “Come in.”

Once Janice said she could enter she walked in and gave her a somewhat smile as she looked at her. She knew she knew something whats up, "Hey Janice how are you?" she began not wanting to just come out and say it.

Janice noticed the expression on Jewel’s face and knew something was going on. She worried about Jewel’s pregnancy, she was due any day. “Is everything okay?”

She walked over to the replicator and ordered something for the both of them then looked at her, "Let's sit down we need to talk Janice." She said with a more serious note. She hated this part, more than anything granted Mike is still very much alive but was in serious condition at the moment.

Janice’s eyes narrowed and she sat. She didn’t like how this convocation was starting off.

"Calm yourself Janice please don't get worked up, it's not good for your health." Jewel stated looking at her.

“Jewel, what’s going on?” Janice bluntly asked.

"Something happened a moment ago while walking with the Krazzle back to the transporter room." She stated as she went more into detail as to what happened. "Someone attacked Mike, he was stabbed and it appeared to have been laced with an anticoagulant agent. He is in the medical bay being treated. K'Temoc is there with him, we are not sure what his condition is at the present time." Jewel stated looking at Janice, she knew she wanted to just run out of the room to be with her husband.

“I need to get to Sickbay.” Janice said, jumping to her feet.

"I know you do Janice, but right now I need you to stay here with Christopher. K'Temoc is there and will keep everyone updated, I'll stay with you for a while if you like for a while to make sure you’re alright." Jewel added.

“No, he needs me, I need to go. Christopher is fine, he’s playing. I, I can get someone to sit with him...” Janice replied, almost in a panic. She wanted to get to her husband as fast as she could and even with her years of Marine training, she wasn’t thinking clearly.

"Just calm down ok, I am here everything will be ok I promise. Mike is a stubborn Klingon do you really think he will give up this easily?" she asked as she looked at her. She knew Mike wouldn't let this get the best of him, "I love you sister, I am right here." Jewel stated with a soft comforting smile. She wrapped Janice in her arms and held her.

Janice took a deep breath and finally sat back down. She leaned back in the chair she was in, trying not to cry.

Jewel spent the next while with Janice making sure she was ok, she didn't want to leave her like this so she stayed to help her out.

Once Janice was finally calm and thinking clearly, Janice stood and said, “I know you need to get back to duty. I’ll Christopher to the Day Care, he can play with his friends for a while and I’m going to Sick Bay to check on Mike.”

The two hugged and a few minutes later Janice was on her way to Sick Bay.
